The six suspects who allegedly assaulted a Police officer on the Kumawu-Effiduase road have been granted a GHS10,000 bail with a surety.
The suspects were granted bail when they appeared at the Effiduase District court today, Tuesday, April 11, 2023.
The lawyer for the suspects, Henry Ohene Kumi argued that the court should grant his clients bail because their offence was a misdemeanour.
He also argued that keeping them in custody until investigations were concluded was tantamount to the infringement of their right.
The Prosecutor, Inspector Samuel Nyame told the court the Police needed more time to investigate the matter hence the suspects should be kept in custody.
However, the presiding judge, his Worship Frank Nii Ashietey Addo was convinced by the defence Counsel’s argument and accordingly granted all six bail.
They are Owusu Michael, Edward Boateng, Yaw Boateng, Evans Addo, Emmanuel Mensah and Thomas Kusi.
Thomas Kusi is currently on admission at the hospital.
Meanwhile, one of the suspects, Yaw Ofori is still on the run.
